Orange raisins?

Today my throat got better during the day, so after work I had a packet of Nak’d Orange Raisins. They are basically raisins infused with orange flavour, so they are like sweets! The pack was 75 cals so not bad for a bit of sugar for pre-run energy. They tasted really like orange ice lollies; quite a strong orangey flavour but tasty.

Then I changed and went out on a short run (just under 3 miles in 27 minutes) although it was muggy out there so I got much hotter than I thought I would!

When I got back I was hungry so I had a small 30g Nakd Berry Cheeky bar; this was really yummy. It is made of dates, oats, raisins, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, apple juice, raspberries and strawberries all “smooshed” together. It tastes sweet, but not overpowering, and I think that the addition of nuts means it isn’t giving your blood sugar levels a massive spike due to the dried fruit. I think you can get them in 4 packs so I will look out for them.

I am looking forward to reading my new Women’s Running magazine which arrived today. I am already looking forward to my long run on Saturday (is that sad of me?) but I have been told that rain is on the way-grrr! I don’t mind a bit of drizzle (helps cool me down) but I really do not want torrential rain- can I put my order in with the weatherman now please?
